Feds check passports against terror list

[Orlando]

If you owe Child Support and other charges under child support title YOU are NOW on the FBI/Homeland Security Terrorist Watch List....

"...The Terrorist screening center is an FBI operation which maintains a constantly updated watch list of people suspected of being terrorists, or terrorist associates...."

[marty60]

Well they certainly know how to avoid detection don't they. If they are that clever at avoiding paying Child Support (that pesky law) just think what they could get from the terroists.

[Orlando]

I wasn't trying to be misleading.
thank you

[in the Arena]

Beat me to it...Lots of speculation with nobody actually reading the article...

[Reactionary]

"BS, this is simply enforcing EXISTING laws."

The "existing laws" have been crafted by Leftists to ensure that the family as an institution is undermined and destroyed by any means necessary.

This is merely one more way of achieving that goal. Any man who would marry a woman these days is a fool.

[Gunrunner2]

And in Texas, when the dad dies, and no one tells the family courts (who would think to notify family court. . .the 'ex?), he is carried on the roles as a "deadbeat."

The numbers are screwed up and impeachable.

[popdonnelly]

Sounds to me like this article is conflating two different lists.

[Marauder]

How is this anti-male?

Good question, since there are women out there that pay child support; but in any case, I see it as pro-child. And I'm a father who has paid a lot of money in child support.

But I have to say, Thank God it's over. I even have a letter from the AG's office to validate that my account is paid in full.

[Veto!]

The dads I mentioned above are not clever at avoiding payment....they just cannot pay. Not on part-time minimum wage jobs. How smart do you think you have to be to lug suitcase bombs from here to there? How smart, in fact, are suicide bombers? Hardly the cream of the gene pool.

[Conservative Infidel]

I think there is no tie per se. I think that it has to do with all of these agencies now sharing the info in their various computer databases.

[TrebleRebel]

...plus the article never singles out fathers specifically, but rather "parents" or "people"...

[Finny]

...irresponsible by definition.

Women who risk being impregnated by guys they're not married to are also irresponsible by definition.

[Brilliant]

A better idea would be to give them only a one way passport.

[Orlando]

So call child support is destroying more american fathers/men than all the american wars put together.

Here's just one pc of the massive corruption with child support.
Missing Money
Hiding overpayment
adding numberous other non-child-support related charges to child support title
overkill on fathers/men
just to name a few....

Missing money, and nobody gets jailed for it, but if you miss one payment , you are locked-up and destroyed for life..

They are not on the terrorist watchlist but they are in a massive federal database with run-of-the-mill criminals as well as suspected terrorists.

"Deadbeats" are tracked by the feds because it is so easy to move across state lines. If someone starts work using their social, conceivably the state can start garnishing wages. It's merely a locator, not putting them on a criminal par with suspected terrorists.

I can see how the confusion occurred but the title is highly misleading.

[Veto!]

You're absolutely correct. Women can be just as irresponsible as men. That does not change what I said about low-end deadbeat dads. Middle class guys basically pay up, so they're not really the problem.

[A CA Guy]

Gee, my sister's ex-Iranian husband owes $45,000.

Do you think if she gets them going that he might be on the terrorist watch list as well? DUHHHHHHH

[MudSlide]

Tracking dead beat dads

How about tracking a few law breaking illegal aliens

[GatorGirl]

How about tracking both? Either constitutes a huge drain on our collective resources!

[OKIEDOC]

There's a lot of disgruntled people in this country.

People who's only recourse is to take it under ground.

I think dads should support their children and so should moms.

Does this list include dead beat moms.

I agree that divorce is way to easy.

It looks as though individual freedoms are being eroded.

I remember when the government said that RICO laws would only be a tool to help put away Mafia types.

Now many law enforcement offices and government types use RICO to go after individual citizens.

It looks as though the Patriot act is going down the same road.

It's time to repeal both the RICO laws and the Patriot act.

[Old Professer]

We don't want to issue a passport to anyone who is going to use it to flee the jurisdiction, or skip out on child support they owe,"

So, we put paper fences in the way of those who might wish to leave while we lay down welcome mats woven of written promises for those who want desperately to come in without proper documentation; interesting.
